Welcome to the channel, I'm Garrett! I am formally educated with a degree in interior design. My husband and I are also real estate investors. Our videos cover many styles (not just my own), and everything from ultra luxury to the budget friendly design. We want you to have a good time watching our videos while learning a great deal of useful, and practical information.

I really appreciate how you get right to the point. No five minutes of BS before you actually start on the information. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Do you know what I really appreciate, Garrett? That you don’t just talk about the aesthetics of home decore, you also mention functionality and maintenance. I’m going to be building a brand new house in the spring. I am liking every video I watch and taking notes. Your videos are so helpful in helping me decide what I want in my new home! 🥰💛🤩
Wow, thank you! I truly appreciate your very lovely comment!
My first kitchen was a metal, robin's egg blue masterpiece by a company called St. Charles circa 1956. It wasn't large, but it made an ingenious use of space. It had stainless steel countertops and stainless, built-in Thermador appliances. One lower cupboard had a huge shelf that swung up and out before locking in place and held my stand mixer, blender, and toaster -- all plugged in and ready for duty. Decades ahead of its time. Jane Jetson would have loved it. I certainly did, and miss it to this very day. I used car wax on all the metal doors and drawers, and that kitchen was as shiny as a new TBird.
No! You dont get it because *I*want it! Haha
My Aunt had a pink, metal, St. Charles kitchen. It was gorgeous and I cherish the memories to this day.
Wow!! Reading your comment, I slowly went from "no way" to "amazing!"
I would love to see a picture of your kitchen!!👀
I enjoy the fact that you respect individual taste, and never forget the functionality and practicality of upkeep.
Thanks so much Susan! Glad you enjoyed. My husband and I will be in beautiful Greece either later this year or next year. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I’m so happy you appreciate more traditional styles and antique/vintage pieces. I don’t see that much on the tubes these days. I went from traditional to the more modern designs and colors a few years ago and I’m so over it. Never want to see gray and white again. I’m bringing some of my antiques back in. Yeah to Granny!
😊😊😊
Thank you for sharing your insights. Want to add that we used drawers for all our lower kitchen cabinets (did use standard cabinet under kitchen sink). The drawers are deep, full extension and are designed to handle up to 250 lbs. I recommend everyone designing their kitchen to look into using drawers. Not sure if they're a trend, but they sure have made my kitchen storage more accessible. (They look good too)😊
Same here and yes, it’s the best. We have a 36” wide drawer under the cooktop that holds all our cast iron, so yes, they can be beefy. I never want to rummage through a stack of things while bent over.
Yes!! I did that too and recommend it to anyone redoing a kitchen. I do not understand undercounter cupboards, such a mission to pack and get the stuff at the back. If you're going to redo, do drawers! High five!
I love that you not only point out the great options that are out there, but also mention what we have to consider. It is easy to get swept away because something looks stunning and beautiful, and one easily forgets that cleaning might be a hassle.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it!😊😊😊
A true butler pantry is a separate room. Granny had one, stuff doesn’t get dirty if it’s not in the kitchen. Lots of storage! A countertop to make drinks cause all the stuff was in there. The dishwasher was in the dish room. Fantastic!
I live in a bubble that protects me from trends. A few years ago I had white ceiling tile installed in the kitchen of my Vermont Farmhouse. At first I was surprised that you didn't mention it, but then I realized that it probably wouldn't work for most viewers.
Back in the Fifties, my parents had pink and gray floor tiles, stainless appliances, and pink, gray, and white boomerang Formica countertops. Knotty pine cabinets and copper lantern ceiling lights finished the look. It was wonderful!
😊😊😊
We added travertine back splash in our renovated kitchen and the natural colors warm the white kitchen cabinets. Looks timeless.
Very nice!
After I designed what I considered a perfect kitchen, my husband starting buying heavy cast iron in every size and shape. It's like have a heavy weight set in the kitchen. If I had known I would have made an area just for his weights. It's hard to plan in advance, but always go with more sturdy storage then you think you need.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
That’s some great advice!
I would love a butler's pantry between the kitchen and the dining room-- a staging place for tabletop and foods. Not happening, but it is so practical for table linens, glassware and serving dishes.
I had one, in my first house. The actual kitchen was small, but the butler's pantry made up for it. It was a hallway type situation between the kitchen and the formal dining room. One side had glass fronted upper cabinets. The other side had solid cabinet doors top & bottom. Counters on both sides. It was great! Specially on holidays.
I painted my kitchen ceiling pale blue 20 years ago and I've always loved it. And now I'm trendy ;-)
Love that! Some design elements are timeless like I always say. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
You need mercy that says Love That For Me!
Hello 👋 you crack me up “I’m not cooking in an ugly kitchen” I use to tell my boys when they where teens “when I get home from work and this kitchen is dirty Im not cooking” it was as spotless as I left it 😂 I love a checkered floor to me it’s classic. You know I love your kitchen videos Garrett love them ☺️
Thanks so much Helen! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Oh, my! You are checking a lot of "validation" boxes for me. I'm bringing back formal dinner parties like my parents gave in the early '60s: fine china, crystal, silver, damask linens, and even salt cellars with teeny-tiny matching silver salt spoons. We just approved the design of our new, fairly industrial, kitchen where we are choosing the highest quality appliances we can afford and embracing the stainless steel finish. Our designer even suggested a cream and blue-gray checkerboard tile floor to go with our blue-gray cabinets and cream quartz countertops. We are keeping the original bead and board ceiling in the keeping room. We feel very pleased with our designer, but it's always nice to hear outside confirmation of ones choices when embarking on such a large project.
Glad you are enjoying the content Carol! Please take a moment if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Those checkerboard floors were all over the 1910-20s houses in the Hudson Valley, I always loved them.
Love that!
Your taste in contemporary kitchens is top notch! Love this video because it’s not the same overdone stuff you see everywhere.
Thanks so much Erin! Glad you enjoyed.
😁😁😁
Garrett, I discovered you just after we moved into a 14 year old "fixer-upper" this fall. Thank you for keeping me company while I painted and performed overdue maintenence. You helped me think through the remodelling of my kitchen and bathrooms (kitchen and 2 bathrooms done, 2 bathrooms to go). I find myself replaying episodes. My husband now asks what Garrett says about things!
Yay! Glad you find the videos helpful. Much more to come! Thanks for watching, and supporting the channel by subscribing. Happy holidays!
Many features have been around. Trends come and go. Like fashion it makes a return but with some tweaking.
Wooden floors in rooms with plumbing are out for me. I've had leaking appliances, and my daughter is currently waiting to replace floors due to water damage. LVP can give the look without the concern.
OH MY!!! I am SO happy I found your channel!!! I’ve been watching you non-stop for 2 days!! LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!!! All your no-nonsense advice!! I wish you could come hold my hand to figure out wth to do in this place!! I have ZERO sense- so I’m digesting ALL your info! Appreciate you & ALL your knowledge!!
Welcome to the channel! Glad you are enjoying Silvia. Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I love the idea of a gray and white checkerboard floor!
Love that too!
Two years ago, I changed out the hideous western motif backsplash with a black leathered granite with black screwless outlet covers. My countertop is a tan, cream, grey, and black sort of wave pattern granite. That and new black stainless appliances. My kitchen is now modern and beautiful.
😊😊😊
Hello Lovely Lechic Fam! I'm so glad that this video was all about kitchen design. 💯 Well done!
Also loving the vibe, Garrett looking like he just returned rested & refreshed from Nantucket with the sweater on his shoulders. Love that for you!! Until next time. Hugs xx
Thank you so much 🤗
We have a bump-out from a furnace and today I'm working on the space to turn the space next to it, into a small walk-in pantry. Very, very cool. Sill working out the details and I'll build and paint it myself. But if this space can hold it, a mini walk-in will be so fun.
I have always enjoyed the black and white marble floors. Nice to know the classics remain on trend.
Brilliant, as usual. When we bought our home, many years ago, we had small children as well as dogs and cats. When we were deciding on a floor for the kitchen I told the tile people that I needed a floor that looked as good dirty as it did spotlessly clean. I LOVE my floor! Our little children are all grown up and out of the house but we still have dogs and cats. And my floor looks as good as it did those many years ago. We’ve done so many renovations and changes to our home over the years and have even discussed changing out the floor in the kitchen. But I stand fast! I love my floor!
Thank you Merideth, and thanks for sharing!
Hi Garrett! Great ideas, thanks. My cabinet maker recommended using seeded glass in my glass-fronted upper cabinet doors in my kitchen, butler’s pantry, and family room cabinets. It is beautiful, and extremely forgiving! It shows nothing! Strongly recommend.
Thanks Lois! Glad you are enjoying the cabinets. :)
We need your wisdom on TikTok!! I don’t spend a lot of time on CZcams but need your tidbits in my life

Found your channel last week. Your classy style is refreshing. I love this high gloss trend in cabinetry. My granddaughter moved into a NY City apartment as she is a professional dancer & was accepted into a top graduate program. She wanted only white & black minimalist style in her BR. I found an original Pierre Cardin dresser & highboy dated 1971 white high gloss finish lined with real chrome. She loves it.

Cheap little tension rods (café rods), a slip of fabric and fabric glue or needle and thread (no skill required), and you've got yourself a little hiding spot.
I love a checkerboard floor. Can't do it in my house cause: open concept. My mom recently tiled her laundry room in black & white checkerboard. It looks great!
Cream and white checkered floors?! YES!
Love it😊
Garret😊! So excited to see a video today. I know it's not kitchen-related but I just got my curtains hung up in the living room in my new house! I took your advice from other videos and hung them high up by the ceiling, with a thicker rod, and they go to the floor. I'm going to hem them a few inches eventually when I can unpack my sewing stuff, just so our robo-vacume can get under them. The look so chic and so luxurious! I'm very excited about them! I also used them as an opportunity to bring color into my space. Anyways, thank you for making videos. Someone tried to tell me I couldn't hang them that high or have them that long, but I knew better because you are the professional and you told me better through your videos.
You are so welcome! 😊😊😊
I actually love the stainless steel appliances 🤭 I love how modern it looks and never wanted to cover them unless it’s a very luxurious modern sleek built-ins, that I would love to have but unfortunately it’s not on my budget 😂
It's not new - but an under- the -counter microwave is awesome! Easy to use, easy to clean, and you can lock it if you have "littles" that love to press buttons! Also, an induction stove top! Heats up super fast, cleans like a breeze and doesn't remain hot to the touch. Two things that make my kitchen user friendly!!!!
Like you, I gravitate to some classic elements including the checkerboard kitchen floor. Got mine ten years ago. While I love black and white, I chose cream and dark beige so there isn't a jarring contrast to the adjacent wood floor and light warm LR tones. (BTW, I also LOVE blue and white porcelain. It's my oxygen.)
Love tile floors! We live on a farm and the floors here get a beating. I can't wait to get heated tile floors.
So glad I found your channel! Loving all the information and inspiration and you!

Garret - timely as always! You have no idea how much you’ve guided me along this stressful kitchen remodel of which we are currently in process.
Happy to help!
You are an absolute delight! Thank you for being you. 🤗😊💔
Thanks for the lovely comment Barb! I appreciate it. :)
Another great video! I had a cream and terracotta checkerboard floor in the kitchen of my previous home and I loved it. I'm considering it in my current home.
Thanks so much Denise! Sounds great. :)
I love your energy this week! There’s a sparkle in your eye and some extra pep in your step! I didn’t know it was possible to be even more likable than usual.
The sink curtain thing, before you even showed the pic, immediately transported me back to stringin’ beans at my mammaw Joan’s kitchen table when I was a kid. 💛 she also had the coolest sink I’ve ever seen. It was all one piece and really deep, but also there were these like ribbed kinda flat sections on either side, I guess for drying dishes? We used to watch old timey horror movies and laugh, and I had my own beautiful complete set of china in her china cabinet to play with. Now that think of it those china were way nicer than my current ones!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
😁😁😁
Yes, yes, yes...to the checkerboard floor. I put one in my kitchen 12 yrs ago during its renovation and love it still.
Love it!!
I just stumbled across your channel and am obsessed. Your advice is so practical and usable...rarely do you see advice really consider the maintenance of a space and that we really do use these spaces after the fun of decorating is over. New subscriber here and thank you for this content!!!
I’m glad you are enjoying our content! Much more to come. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family.
I am inspired by the island with solid stone and wood tops. That is so chic and makes the island a beautiful focal point. The muted cabinets behind are perfect with this island. They stand quietly behind in a supporting role. I am definitely changing up my kitchen-to-be design for our new home to incorporate an island like that.
I'm glad you like the b&w checkerboard kitchen floors - I love mine!
In my kitchen doing my improvements as I'm listening to Garrett - thanks for the affirmation that I'm on the right road (for me!) .
Yay! I'm happy for you Kathleen. :)
We've always loved a chef's kitchen. Currently we are completely redoing our kitchen. We had a long narrow pantry beside it (only 6ft deep) and we got rid of the pocket door but left a 5ft opening were the door and pocket were. We have placed a counter depth but taller fridge, regular width but no freezer style because the matching freezer is beside it with a grill above that joins the two together. This space also includes a regular wall oven, floor to ceiling pantry shelving and a small laptop station below the window. In the main part of the kitchen we are going with a stove hood that includes a warming rack, and a showstopping red enamel gas stove with electric oven. Since my husband is a journeyman joiner/cabinetmaker, we are also going with flat panel, book matched, edge grain fir cabinets. Can't wait til its all done.
Adore those arched cabinets - because I'd strip and redo them in a light not dark stain. They beg for new life and some love (and refinishing old wood cabinets would be scores easier and cheaper than buying new!)
I very much like the trend of built in china cabinets to display beautiful glassware and dishes. Excellent video and accompanying graphics. Thank you for this video. 🌺🦔🌷
Thanks so much Donna! Glad you enjoyed. ☀️☀️☀️
Thanks Garret,a very insightful analysis of a real life kitchen that also costs an arm and a leg and won't be revisited for at least ten years for us plebs anyway.
We are building our home and I'm planning on a butler's pantry (I love love china) and a marble backsplash. I'd also love to install a pine china cabinet as a built in. Thanks for confirming we are on the right path.
Sounds great!
Black and white checkerboard floors are so classic. I love the black and cream or gray and white option, too. It can all be elegant or playful depending on material or room style. I really enjoy your channel, Garrett. Great content and like you, I am primarily traditional in my style choice. Do you like the set design of Abe and Rose Wiseman’s apartment on the show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? Almost makes me think that I could enjoy living in an apartment.

@@GarrettLeChic I am a happy subscriber. And, Weissman is the correct spelling for Abe and Rose on Mrs. Maisel. My bad. Would you do a video on Butler’s Pantries? From Old World style to today’s options. Every home should have one. Glad to see them finally making a comeback.
@@user-es9mb8wi3m yay! I’ll consider for part of a future video. 😊😊😊
I’m about to start work on renovating my 1950’s kitchen (in the house my dad built) and it’s such a challenge. It’s small and white! With lino floors. Blah. I have (crazily) bought a big black sexy oven. I’m looking at timber counter tops. Grey cabinets and floating timber shelves. Looking at some aged rustic grey tiles for splash backs. But I am stuck on what wall colour. I’m thinking a pale sage green. I don’t know!!!!
I'm so happy that the little curtain on the cabinet tree is LeChic approved. Cause that's what I want to do under the sink. 😊
Great video as usual. Love it. Love all your videos! ❤️
Thanks so much Fatima!😊😊😊
OMG! How did I miss the video??? Love the kitchen ideas, Garrett! I really appreciate that you actually note maintenance in your videos- so important and so many other designers miss that.
Thanks so much!! Do you have your notifications on? :) Glad you enjoyed.
Always enjoy, always thankful 🙏 🌟
Yay! I appreciate you. :)
Hi Garret! I love love love your insight.I am new to your channel but am totally hooked . I discovered you when I was looking for bathroom redesign advice and ideas. I have shared you already with my daughter in- law and she too loves your information and truth about how to design and keep it real.
Yay! Thanks so much. Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying our videos. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. 😊😊😊
ty!
I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I really love your videos. This can be such an overwhelming topic and your videos really help. I also feel that you really embrace the real world that most of us live in `👍
Thanks so much! Happy to help.
😁😁😁
Another thing with curtains under the sink is it might help reduce the likelihood of water damage to a sink base, wich is usually inevitable
Great video!! I'm cheering 📣 for you to reach 50k soon! Very deserving.
Thanks so much! Should be soon, and we know that 's just the beginning. :)
Love marble also😃
Yay! :)
Ooo, we actually got the kitchen checkered floor a few years ago. Nice to see it become a trend now!
I love that! Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
My kitchen is not huge, but my daughter has a huge one and she has a fabulous china cabinet in her kitchen. Love it for her, love it for you too 😍
Wouldn't that cream and white checkerboard floor in a kitchen be wonderful to bring together the white appliances and sometimes off-white cabinets or other elements in our kitchens? Great idea! Still thinking about going with emulated VAT in a muted color to honor our mid-century home. This would be a nice way to use that material.
Hi Garrett! Just had to tell you that my husband and I have really loved watching your videos; we just started a month or two ago. We had our kitchen renovated last year and are always tickled with how much we chose that you agree with!
Thanks so much Lori!! Glad you are enjoying the videos. Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
@@GarrettLeChic Already done! We would hate to miss your videos!
@@lorimartin7828 Yay! It’s great to have you as part of our channel family. 😊😊😊
@@GarrettLeChic By the way, I really wanted to compliment you on what an eloquent speaker you are. None of those pesky "ahh"s and "umm"s so many videos have! You speak your mind and do so very eloquently.
@@lorimartin7828 Thank you so much! I appreciate your compliment a great deal.
😊😊😊
Another great video with lots of ideas! ♥️ I always wanted a checkerboard kitchen floor, but I didn't think it would work here. Now you've got me thinking about green instead of black! And I think maybe THAT.....could work! 😁
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed. Linus, Cornealius and Albert say Hi Dodie!
🐶🐶🐶
@@GarrettLeChic ♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️
Hey there, hi! Garrett, you are a gem! Love all your videos, but this one was so on point for us. We were scheduled to start a kitchen reno this past April, but in Jan made the decision to put it off a year for various reasons. I've been feeling a little sad lately, because I know we would have been a little more than halfway through. But the ideas I got from this video have made it all worth it! The T-shaped island - we don't have space for an island, but will have a decent sized peninsula. I definitely want to look into that "T-shape" at the end as a way to add am extra seat (I think we could sacrifice a bit of storage there). And using 2 materials for the countertop and backsplash - love it! We had picked out a honed, super white quartzite for both, but had some hesitation about upkeep on the countertop after having marble in a prev home (and the price was a bit hard to swallow, too...) but if we keep that for the backsplash and sub something for the countertop. Well, I love that for us!
Final comment- I totally laughed when you mentioned the recessed storage spaces. We are working around HVAC ductwork and a plumbing chase at opposite corners that just can't be moved and so that's exactly what we're doing. On one side, a shallow larder/chef's pantry that will be flush with the lower cabinets on either side, and (I kid you not) a shallow glass-front cabinet in front of the plumbing chase that will likewise blend in with the surrounding cabinets. Hopefully when it all comes together it's Le Chic approved! 😉
Thanks so very much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos.
Hey there, hi! Love your vids :)
Thanks so much!
I'd love a huge, one tub stainless steel sink. Currently I have the double sink and I can't soak my skillets or sheet pans. A kitchen that is actually used looks different than one used to stage take-out food 🙄 so whatever works for you 😍! I love the way you accept what others choose even if it's not your thing!
Glad you enjoyed the video Sandy!
😊😊😊
Love your channel,I just subscribed to your channel
Welcome to the channel Trish! It’s great to have you as part of our valued subscriber family.
😊😊😊
Garrett! I just found you and I love your videos! New subscriber here 🙌🙌
Yay! Thank you! Welcome to the channel.
It is so nice how you point out realistic maintenance for some items that you talk about. The built in china cabinet in the kitchen, for example. Although it looks really nice, having to constantly scrub grease off the glass doors would drive me crazy. If I had a traditional dining area, I would create a built in china cabinet in there instead. Dusting is so much easier!
Thanks so much!
Garrett, what a great kitchen list--thank you!
We are remodeling the kitchen of our 1924 Storybook-style cottage, & putting in a pantry wall, with five, 7'6" high, 20" wide, 18-light doors that were originally from Harvard's Paleontology department. (I found them on eBay😉!) The glass in them is the original, old wavy/shimmery glass, & our pantry wall will be about 10 feet wide.
I am so glad to hear you say that this design concept is one that you love! So do I!
Always eager to watch your videos, as you consistently offer excellent, useful, thoughtfully-chosen, design guidance. You are much appreciated, Garrett!
🙏🌿💐🌿😊💚💙💜😘🌿💐🌿🙏
Thanks so much Sarah! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. 😊😊😊
That sounds awesome! I love storybook style. And that pantry sounds amazing.
Garrett love the China cabinet as well. It is one of the features I have included in my new kitchen design. Trust me I would have a butlers pantry if I had room. I saw the ones in the mansions in Newport. They were made for all the fabulous china. Butlers pantry WILL be in next home.
Sounds great Kim! Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
@@GarrettLeChic trust me I joined quite a while ago. Your information is always spot on. It helps you have great taste.
We have ceiling fans all over the house. Our house was built in 1920 so we have archways all over our house. We had a built in China cabinet before our dining room became our kitchen and our kitchen became our dining room. I have cabinets with glass that show off our beautiful dishes. We have those recessed areas. I want a China cabinet in that area since it is now my dining room.
Yes!!!! Built in glass cabinets!😀It’s going in the kitchen I build for sure. I’m obsessed with China, and will be having a display in the kitchen. I would love to have an additional China display cabinet in a butlers pantry for sure but considering it’s only me and hubby, that’s going into serious hoarding territory🤣. I did at one point think what if I collect a plate (different sizes)or bowl from various sets, mixed matched like they do in the UK, that way I can get my fix of lots beautiful patterns lol. The industrial chef kitchen also appeals to me because I’m very practical and to me a kitchen should look like an actual kitchen, not semi hidden away, looking like another sitting room - I hate that trend! My last house was an English country cottage with a kitchen that had a little red gingham curtain (my cats played hide and seek in ) as well as set of three pull out wicker baskets under the sink.
Good Morning Garrett, first of all thank you for your videos. I am watching all of them, and the thing that constantly attracts me is to work on the ceiling, so I am keeping that in mind and for sure will try to incorporate it in the next home.
The little curtain in kitchen, I had it during my growing years back in India at mums place, the reason then was cabinetry’s are expensive so mix it up with little curtains, however I have heard my mom complaining about it a lot as they get dirty a lot, needs wash and maintenance and all that stuff.
And oh yeah regarding the glass cabinets, i love them but then again the maintenance in and out held me to do this time in the kitchen, I was not ready I guess because the house and the backyard and the pool in itself is a full time unending maintenance, not complaining as am enjoying the house. But yes few years down the line when we downsize, those glass cabinets are on the list:)
Having PMS blues, but watching you sends all the blues out of the window. Stay healthy and keep shining. Much love from this end❤️
Thanks so much Ramani for your lovely and interesting comment!
Great suggestions! We're about to embark on a major kitchen remod and I spent an inordinate amount of time and money on a statement range hood! I would love to see you do a segment on that. Our new hood is a curved Parisian copper hood in gunmetal with light brass trim. It's smooth on top and has light hammering on the bottom, but the pièce de résistance is the vine scroll and lion motif on the apron of the hood. It's 48" wide and 56" tall and definitely a statement! 🥰🦁
Sounds great! Thanks so much Tam. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Trend I am seeing is beautiful wood panels to hide fridges. Love the 5th wall..have u done a ceiling vid yet?? 🤞🤞. I did the glass cabinet and omg had a large cracked antique rose mirror cut down and used for inside backing. Loved it. Pups out playing today??Lol.
I've not done a video only about ceilings, but I discuss them regularly. I mentioned wood panels for refrigerators being a trend right now which I do like in another of our kitchen discussion videos. :)
@@GarrettLeChic Garret I think I did see those (I think it was the ugly kitchen with the Old Style Panel video?)but I just can't get enough of Panels and ceilings..lol. Love today's Vid!!
Loving all the features you have introduced 😍 Hm… not too long ago you have taught me to notice the differences of natural stone and man made stone within the same space …would the backsplash and countertop use different material be “noticeable “ …? Thank you 🙏
Yes! But that is the idea! I wouldn't mix a real and a faux stone but I think a contrasting quartz and marble backsplash can look amazing!
I love your advice on counter tops and backsplash. I’m just in the beginning stages of looking for ideas to redo our kitchen. Our kitchen is in the middle of our 45 year old bungalow with no window😩 so I am leaning towards white cabinets with quartz counter top and maybe marble backsplash. I would like to do slab doors as I’d rather be doing fun things than cleaning! My worry is the slab doors can look very institutional. Any suggestions! Ps I love your talent, wit, puppies and your realism! Thank you
Thanks so much! We are working on starting a virtual service later this year for individual decorating consultations. 😊
Truly love your channel! 😍😍 I love the lacquered cabinet look. Especially for my single window small kitchen since it reflects a lot of light. Not wanting the high maintenance task though. In a previous video you talked about glass backsplash being dated (agreed). What do you think about a slab glass backsplash? Or can a lacquered backsplash be used? But can get scuffed easily. In my small kitchen, the only area that needs a backsplash is behind the stove which is about 8 feet long. Thoughts?
Thank you!! 😊 I really appreciate it Loretta! I'm sure I would have ideas if I saw the kitchen, and got to know your tastes and objectives. I just don't feel comfortable offering my opinions without seeing the space, and having a discussion. I might be offering a service later this year on a limited basis for virtual individual decorating consultations.
I love the idea of a black and white checkerboard entry and kitchen, but isn’t it an awkward transition to the adjoining wood or carpeted or bathroom tiled flooring? Love your videos.
Thanks Terri!
❤️❤️❤️
I want to add ceiling paneling for my son's new home because the texture they are using on it is horrific. My son even hates it and he would he happy living in a box. I'm afraid of it being too much because it's somewhat open concept so the whole ceiling would need to be done. I just ordered some samples last week, so wish me luck! 😬
Best of luck with your project!
I’ll definitely do first 3 . Rest I’m iffy
Hi new subscriber in the last couple of days.
I’m a bit curious. I’m renovating a small RV into a tiny home and having a few creative roadblocks
Yay! Welcome to the channel Arrianna! It's great having you as part of our very valued subscriber family. We all get creative roadblocks. One of things I always recommend that may help in general is to go to the channel, and watch all my videos as you can. :)
@@GarrettLeChic watching one now lol. Thank you for the welcome!
Great ideas. Thanks. We try not to make our home kitchen like a restaurant kitchen. I did something horrible….I have a recessed wall that is perfect for a countertop pantry or glass display cabinet exactly like what you showed in the video but I chose to cover that wall up so that it is flushed throughout. I have never renovated a kitchen in an old condo like my current kitchen, I agonized over that recessed wall, I don’t think standard IKEA pantry type cabinets will fit that space, those glass cabinets will need to be custom made and an interior designer will have to be consulted. My contractor wanted to build up that section for me, he suggested not going to Ikea because the building is old with unusual measurements that require custom cabinetry. After visiting my neighbours’ and looking at their renovations, I opted to cover up the recessed wall, sacrificing those custom above the countertop display glass cabinets. Feeling super guilty……..but personally, I don’t need those glass display cabinets. I know it’s fanciful. Hmmm. Still feeling guilty.
I love your channel. But, nottt the currrtain! Noooooo! (Maybe, it's because I grew up in a rural area and this was common.) I think it looks cheap and there are better ways to add texture to a kitchen.
Thanks for sharing! I try to come up with a range of options to suit various needs and realities of different spaces. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
MR. LeChic.
I am in DESPERATE need of your professional thoughts on a tiny home in Portugal.
How do I contact you?? Website?? Omg...(help)
Hello! I’m sorry at this time I’m not doing individual decorating consultations. I might be later this year. Best of luck, and again I’m sorry I can’t help at this time.
@@GarrettLeChic NOOOOOO!
Ok. Thanks any way! I'll keep watching your channel.
The kitchens that are all white is boring. Don’t like the counter to go up the back of the wall as backsplash either. Too much of the same looks bad to me. Just my opinion.
Where are your precious dogs?? I love when u kiss on them 🥰
They are just living the good life, staying cool in the summer weather. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family.:)
